[c-nsp] Q-in-Q termination on 6500/7600

[Tassos Chatzithomaoglou]

Been there, done that....you need the ES cards (get the new ES+ if you decide to use these).
Alternatively (as long as you traffic demands are low), use a much-cheaper-external-router-based solution for IP QinQ 
termination (7200 with 31SB works fine).
